Citizenship does not depend in the status of a parent unless the citizen was boarn abroad, far away from the jurisdiction of the United States.

Citizenship depends on allegiance to the country. That allegiance is a state of mind between an individual and the individual's country.

Don't you see the danger of negating the citizenship of individuals? The United States has made mistakes like this before. Fifty years ago, the United States used to automatically denationalize U.S. born citizens if they left the country and resided overseas over a certain period of time. That of course seamed at that time logical for some, but detrimental for many. That law was therefore repealed.

Why do we insist in focusing the proble to the citizens born in the U.S. and not to the Parents and the authorities that let these parents entered illegally? The person featured in the report had to stay a number of months prior to give birth. Wouldn't it make sence to focus in the real problem and not in victimizing the citizen that is born in the U.S.?

The instance a baby is born in the U.S., the baby automatically pledges allegiance to this country. That baby may, one of these days, be obliged to serve in the U.S. Armed forces to defend his or her country. The baby is born with obligations to his or her country of birth. Do you think that the illegal immigrant parent has the power or the right to negate that obligation?

In return, the nation has the constitutional obligation to protect those who empower it, the citizens.
